"Dry chicken. Salty food. Short staffed. Limited uncomfortable indoor seating. Fruitflies/gnats everywhere. Poor air conditioning. Stale breads. They had zero idea as to what goes into a Gyro when I asked for one. Friendly staff. Counter cashier woman extreamly friendly and kind. Loooove their Excellent exotic lemonades w/ free refills. Cucumber mint lemonade etc... Excellent for gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and probably these are the people rating highly. The meat eaters, not so much. Look at the other negative reviews and they all address the same items listed above. The positive reviews don't really into quite as many specifics as to what IS good. Maybe this place was better at one time as well. Sorry for the harsh review but I'm just calling it as I see it as this is my second visit and I REALLY looked forward to it both times and ended up thoroughly disappointed disssatisfied wanting to ask for our money back TBH. Front door sticking open everytime someone opens it. So it's not cooling down inside inviting sooo many flies. Picnic table bench style seating indoors with the benches immovable and permanently affixed to the table. Difficult for someone older to get into the rock hard seating. Indoor seating consists of only three picnic tables and the rest are bar stools along the window. The chicken was 30% bone dry and 30% rock hard and leathery as it includes the skin, dried out corners/all the weird bits and the other parts you dont want which they don't take out. Gyros are way to big over stuffed bit that's them wanting to be generous with portioning word to the wise ask for half the meat on the side or whatev.. Overloaded with huge uncut, very dry and VERY COLD chunks of meat. MEAT WAS NOT HOT AT ALL. Why is the meat cold when I sit down to eat gyro sandwich immediately after waiting for staff to come around and ring people up. IDK. Gnats constantly landing into our salad/platter plates. The bugs are sooo gross and worth asking for a refund alone. No standard trays supplied for dine in. Everything is packed as a to go order period. Dont go there on a hot day. Front door is NEVER closed. Not a place to cool down whatsoever period. Gnats and fruit flies are coming from poor food storage practices and not from the door being always open from my experience in restaurants but I could be mistaken. You absolutely will end up ingesting a gnat if you dine in, because they have so many and they constantly land into your food it was REALLY BAD. The wheat pita didn't taste right at all. Something was off about that pita bread 100%. The lamb meat is VERY salty. The beef/lamb combo I ordered cold, too thick, chunkey, dry. Reason why they have good reviews is because of the price for quantity of product and alot of vegan, veggie and GF eat there and they hook you up portion wise for the money spent it's a deal if you find a dish you like and order to go. If you find a dish/meat you like and don't eat there then your in good shape. This isn't a greek vibe place whatsoever period. Its an Americanized Chipotle ordering style establishment with Mediterranean foods. Their lemonades are GREAT! Very sugery though so add lots of ice and a little unsweetened tea or water and there SOOO refreshing. Deserts probably are good too with excellent variety and look soooo tastie but also they look like they each have 3000 calories per bite. This is my second time and I had to go to the bathroom as soon as I got home. Mabee I was thinking about it too much, I dunno. Truth is, the thought and taste/texture of the meat that I had haunted me on the drive home. This establishment has potential and deserves better. I won't be back."

"My family and I were in the area and we were starved. We had a craving for Thai food and this spot was right down the block from where I parked. It was empty when we walked in. The man and woman working there that day were very nice. At first, we were just going to order take out but by daughter wanted to sit and eat so we decided to order a bunch of apps and then order mains to go. They have a small dining area but gave plenty of seating, with many tables and a bar area for additional seating. We order a lot of food to try while we were there and the staff was super attentive and very pleasant. When we're were finishing up our food, we ordered our mains and everything arrived to the table, well packaged with care and ready for transport. All of the food was exceptional. Grub Rundown: Tom Kha I have grown to love this coconut broth soup. This is the second place that I've had a really good bowl. It wasn't too thin and everything was flavorful. It did not lack in anything. Crispy Dumpling not my fave but was OK. The filling is a decent portion and I enjoyed the sauce that accompanied the dish. Lava Calamari these were really tasty. I just wish there were more. Chicken Wings these were really good. The crisp is perfect and the chicken was moist. Spring Rolls these were OK. Nothing extra special about them but they're good. Chicken Pineapple Fried Rice always a banger. You can't ever go wrong with this staple. Pad Thai Noodle I ordered this with chicken and had them make it extra spicy. It still wasn't as spicy as I would have liked and there could have been more noodles in the dish but it was good. Duck Red Curry this dish is pricey but it is very good. They packaged it with great intent to ensure that the dish maintained its quality for time of consumption. Everything was separated. The duck remained crispy because the curry was packed separately. It was soooo good! Coconut Ice Cream we shared this in the restaurant and it was yummy! Imthey serve dot on a plate with a chocolate sauce drizzle. The ice cream has pieces of coconut in it and my daughter absolutely loved it. If in the area, I would definitely go back. The items are way pricier than Thai food used to be, back in the day, in that area, but the food is good and the service was impeccable. After we sat down to eat, the place filled us perry quickly and that's saying something."
